Staring down at a potential second loss before the calendar changes to October, the Oregon Ducks stormed into Los Angeles and emerged with a 41-27 victory over the USC Trojans, picking up a much-needed third win that keeps them alive in the College Football Playoff race. One of six ranked matchups across college football in Week 4, Oregon’s win was as impressive as it gets especially considering that starting quarterback Dante Moore was knocked out of the game with an injury in the first half. In his stead, backup Dylan Raiola entered and played a brilliant game, completing 19-of-25 passes for just under 300 yards and two scores. The defense, while having trouble stopping the Trojans for much of the second half, came up with big stops down the stretch, powering the team over the finish line.While Oregon prevailing over USC aids their resume, other teams also added strong resume-building victories. The top-ranked Texas Longhorns took down the Tennessee Volunteers, while the Florida Gators topped the No. 4 Ole Miss Rebels, now pushing for a top 10 ranking.After a wild Week 4 in college football, let’s take a look at just how high the Ducks might’ve risen in the national championship odds, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.Ohio State Buckeyes (+470)Week 4 Result: W 42-19 vs. IllinoisRecord: 3-1Previous Odds: +500Texas Longhorns (+550)Week 4 Result: W 20-17 vs. No. 14 TennesseeRecord: 4-0Previous Odds: +550GeorgiaBulldogs (+550)Week 4 Result: W 41-13 vs. OklahomaRecord: 4-0Previous Odds: +600Notre Dame Fighting Irish (+600)Week 4 Result: W 49-10 vs. PurdueRecord: 4-0Previous Odds: +650Miami Hurricanes (+750)Week 4 Result: W 52-3 vs. Central MichiganRecord: 4-0Previous Odds: +800Indiana Hoosiers (+1100)Week 4 Result: W 29-23 vs. NorthwesternRecord: 4-0Previous: +850LSU Tigers (+1600)Week 4 Result: W 35-6 vs. No. 23 Texas A&MRecord: 3-1Previous Odds: +1500Florida Gators (+1700)Week 4 Result: W 52-28 vs. No. 4 Ole MissRecord: 4-0Previous Odds: +4000Alabama Crimson Tide (+2000)Week 4 Result: W 49-18 vs. South CarolinaRecord: 4-0Previous Odds: +2700Ole Miss Rebels (+2500)Week 4 Result: L 28-52 vs. No. 21 FloridaRecord: 3-1Previous Odds: +1900Oregon Ducks (+2500)Week 4 Result: W 41-27 vs. No. 12 USCRecord: 3-1Previous Odds: +2500Tennessee Volunteers (+4000)Week 4 Result: L 17-20 vs. No. 1 TexasRecord: 3-1Previous Odds: +5000Contact/Follow @Ducks_Wire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Oregon Ducks news, notes, and opinions.This article originally appeared on Ducks Wire: Oregon Ducks’ national title odds after impressive Week 4 win
